Welsh Government Civil Service

Last updated 31 March 2014

The non-political administration that supports Welsh Government Ministers, irrespective of the party that is in power.

The core strengths of the civil service – political neutrality; efficient administration; good governance and sound management of public funds – have provided a solid foundation that has enabled us to build the well-established organisation that now supports the Welsh Government.

We have a skilled and experienced workforce of 5000+ people located across Wales, close to the communities we serve.

Supporting Ministers to deliver for Wales

Our main challenge in the years ahead will be how effectively we can support Welsh Ministers through the next stage of the devolution journey, whilst focussing relentlessly on the delivery of the Programme for Government.
